Anyone else notice the 'positives' for Donald Trump in polling and media recently

Compared to other presidents Trump is not doing that great

Did you hear that thud ?

That was the sound of the impeachment boomerang knocking the wind out of them.

LOL... You should work for CNN. They honestly believe Trump-related polls too.

In 2016 Hillary was leading the ENTIRE time. Every poll even on Fox.

She did end up winning as the polls predicted, even within the margin of error:

538 projected Clinton would get 48.5% of the vote while Trump would get 44.9%.

The NYT projected Clinton would get 45.9% of the vote while Trump would get 42.8%.

RealClearPolitics[/url ] projected Clinton with 48.2% of the vote and Trump would get 42.2%.

The end [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_United_States_presidential_election]result? Clinton had 48.2% of the vote while Trump had 46.1%.

The polls weren't really that far off, Clinton won the popular vote, as predicted. In fact, when you dig into it, Trump won because of less than 1% of votes spread across three states; Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. A margin so small that no poll could've predicted an outcome that close.

The autopsy of the 2016 election has been hashed, rehashed and then hashed a dozen times again. The polls were never 'wrong,' they were just less correct in some states than others and, overall, were pretty spot on.

Good point but they already did that. They had the pop vote remember? No, they have shot themselves in the foot and I will not be surprised when Trump picks up a state and wins the pop vote this time.

In other words, the people in charge of those polls were too stupid to know that the Electoral College count is what determines the winner?

Or maybe take a look at this same one from RCP....

Does the polling accuracy not become diluted when you have 15 Democrats running against 3 republicans ? Seems like a shotgun approach. Who else that is running is a devil that people know ? I'm sure right now most people in their right minds would keep their cards hidden. if Trump is exonerated, if that is the right word, many in "The Basket of deplorables". may play the trump card for no other reason than in retaliation for having their intelligence insulted. US politics seems to have become a well oiled "reality" show. Good tv in my opinion. Is there anyone running that has vaguely interesting policies that have a hope of delivering on ?

Stalin once said, “Its not the ones who votes that count, it’s the one who counts the votes.”

Well dead people still vote anyways.

So yeah.

And that is the way the Founding Fathers designed this Republic to work .
No , the US is not a mob rule Democracy.

And then the Russians stepped in and the cheating began.

And it never would have happened if he had not cheated.

And he is trying to do it again.... Right in front of your noses and you still don't see.

Oh for Pete sakes, Russia has always meddled with proproganda. Iran seems to be the bigger meddler currently heading up to the 2020 election and I really doubt that Iran is backing Trump! I mean before Trump, Iran seemed to have the Dem Administration doing their bidding. Trump sanctioned them.

Facebook deletes fake accounts from Iran, Russia ahead of 2020 election

Apparently, somehow Iran has more pallets of cash to create meddling mayhem than Russia. Hmmm.

Hahahaha what exactly did they do again?

My thought is that they are starting to do the opposite of what they did in 2016. They thought they could make people think there vote didn't count by showing them losing so bad it would not matter. Instead, they will now show that there is no need to vote since Trump is getting more 'popular' and the votes are already there.

So... you're saying that they are planning to interfere/meddle in our 2020 election?!?!?

Say it isn't so!!! Off with their heads!!!

Fake Impeachment

True, but you know what wouldn't be a fake impeachment is Biden facing a GOP congress and them using this video as evidence for his impeachment, in fact Trump can use it not now but during the general to say that is exactly what could happen should Biden get elected, can you imagine the debate he would get slaughtered. His comment won't be because you will be in jail it will be "because you are just going to get impeached". Then he runs ads of clips from this.

If, with Russia's help, we have now record low unemployment, a booming economy, higher wages for lower income workers, a stronger military, then by all means, lets get Russia to help!

I don't think things have changed much since the election those that like and dislike him are pretty static.

The election is going to come down to voter turn out and Trump is pretty good at riling up his base, but it is too soon to be making predictions. It will all depend on who becomes the Dem's candidate and if they can get people to the voting booth.

Here comes the DNC Jedi mind trick for 2020. Switch the poll numbers...and some positive stories.

That really doesn't make sense.

Impeach a popular president and all.

Not much has changed, even according to Fox, trumps private news TV station.
